    Autumn post full of colors. An Awesome post Carol. Great pictures. Those owls are gorgeous. Love the way you have been inspired by Basho's haiku on Carpe Diem. It's a nice autumn haiku ... full of grieve as the one by Basho. Thank you for your participation in Carpe Diem. I am glad to see how you all post such wonderful haiku.

    Namaste
